Not an easy question to answer since the eye operates more like a roving video recorder rather than a single frame digital camera. For a fairly complete understanding of the problem and attempts at solution see <http://clarkvision.com/articles/eye-resolution.html>

You won't have an exact answer when you get done reading but you'll probably realize that today's digital cameras (even MF digitals) don't even come close.

If you just want to cut to the chase start reading about 40% down the page at: "How many megapixels equivalent does the eye have?"

While cycling this morning, the question came up as to what the
equivalent pixel density is of the human eye.  Are we approaching the
equivalent in digital camera image sensors?
